“Divide” was premiered by Steve Lamacq on BBC Radio 6 Music and sees the duo find a middle ground between their early heavier sensibilities and their new electronically driven material. Combining hyperactive club rhythms and Berghain-heavy basslines, as Hall and Middlesbrough rapper Shakk bob and weave around each other with acerbic lines around the divisive state of the nation, and indeed, the world-at-large. The latter part of the track sees the instrumentation open into an experimental electronic composition that is at once tense and somewhat euphoric.

Speaking about the track vocalist Kingsley explains: “Divide is a punk song about society at war with itself over every conceivable issue. It’s angry about everything from war, inequality, misplaced patriotism and poverty; to greed and the industrialisation and monetisation of hate. It’s an attempt to bring together everything that Benefits in 2025 represents, both sonically and lyrically. We wanted to merge heavy electronica, traditional punk and protest, to create an assault on the senses in the best possible way. Along with producer James Adrian Brown, we threw beat after beat at it and brought in our friend Shakk to add pure fire and heart. It’s a piece about division but done in the spirit of unity.”
